Howdy peeps, This coin is currently being auctioned by Heritage and here's a portion of the write-up on it: http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=3005&LotIdNo=97001&type=world-coinnews-tem041809 Until three years ago, no one even knew that the 1770 Nuevo Reino Pillar Dollar existed. That changed quickly, however, when an amazing stash of 14 coins was found during the bulldozing of a parking lot in Bogota that was being razed for a new building. Buried beneath the dirt and the decades was the old foundations of the Nuestra Senora del Pilar church. The church, which existed from 1770 until 1948 when it was set ablaze during riots, was also a convent and school for girls. The church was eventually torn down and the area turned into a parking lot. When construction began on a new building three years ago and crews started digging, a small group of coins turned up — including the 14 1770 Nuevo Reino Pillars. So for those of you that collect this series, you've got one chance at getting one of these. Ribbit
